Chapter 170: Spices
It's not too late, "What the hell is going on" Su Jingxi walked into the warehouse, rows of wall cabinets were neatly placed, some things were more or less shelved on them, and the names and sources of the items were pasted below, which was what Su Jingxi asked them to do, and what they wanted was clear at a glance.
Ting Yao led her to the back of the right, pointed to a few pieces of spices on it, and said, "Niangniang, this is the hundred incense sent by the provincial people in the palace a few years ago, and the slave maid found that it was mixed with Banxia. ”
Seeing that she didn't understand, she explained, "Banxia can be used as medicine, which has the effect of drying and dampness, reducing phlegm, reducing inversion and relieving vomiting, and eliminating phlegm, but at the same time, it also has the function of contraception." ”
Su Jingxi glanced around, and then moved her gaze back to Baimaoxiang, she was not used to spices, firstly, she thought that the presence or absence of spices was not very useful, and she didn't like the taste to be true, and secondly, she thought from the bottom of her heart that spices were the most powerful place for people to do tricks.
The nobles of the capital always use spices to like to smoke, light, it is indeed very pleasant, and the fragrance is specially used to smoke clothes, the fragrance is stained with clothes, and the fragrance does not stop, she occasionally does this, but only to the fragrance of the fragrance.
She was in confinement years ago, but she felt that she always didn't bathe on her body, and there would be a smell, so she specially asked the palace province to send some hundred incense, but fortunately, she only used it once, and Zong Zhengjin still came every day after that, and after making it clear that he didn't mind, she simply stopped doing it again.
"When the people from the palace province sent it over, the slave maid didn't find the cat in it, but now it will be found that it must be because it was shelved here and slowly consumed, and the rest of the fragrance volatilized, and the taste of Banxia was revealed."
Su Jingxi nodded, "You can still remember the little eunuch who sent the things at the beginning."
"Remember, every time the little eunuch who came to deliver something to Guan Ju Palace was the same person, and the slave maid had seen him a few days ago," Ting Yao thought for a while and said.
Although the palace does not implement a thorough real-name system for doing anything, to a certain extent, everyone is assigned a task, just like assigning things, it is these people who come and go, and if something goes wrong, it must be between these people.
"You go and invite the eunuch in charge and the little eunuch to the Guanju Palace, and the palace will personally interrogate."
"Niangniang, do you want to inform Shu Guifei Niangniang" Listening to Yao asked, even if the incident happened in Guanju Palace, but now the harem is under the control of Shu Guifei Niangniang, and informing Shu Guifei is only superficial, but it must be done.
"This is natural, you send someone to say it," Su Jingxi said indispensably.
Turned around and walked out, "Take advantage of this idea, you will check all these things, move out if there are problems, and when everyone is here, let the palace people of Guan Ju Palace come over and have a look." ”
Hearing Yao's heart, even though he knew that he had nothing to do with it, he sweated, Niangniang's words, I don't know if she suspected that there was a traitor in Guan Ju Palace.
It's been a long time to be comfortable, and cats and dogs always dislike that the days are not comfortable enough.
Su Jingxi went to the side hall to take a look at the little guy, although he was asleep, it did not affect the innocence and purity of the child, and he really didn't know what he would look like when he grew up.
Slowly returned to the main hall, and saw that there were already two eunuchs waiting there, and did not inquire immediately, but asked people to present lunch first, eat alone, and rest for a while, then freshen up and dress, and walked out of the inner room.
"Let them in."
The two eunuchs stood outside, the sun was shining, although it was not too hot, but there was a large wet patch on their backs, and they didn't dare to move to the shade without permission, let alone turn around and leave, knowing that Zhen Zhaoyi Niangniang did it on purpose, but they had no way.
Compared with such slow treatment and ignorance, it is obvious that they are even more unhappy to play the board and enter the Criminal Division.
retracted his thoughts, followed the palace maid in, and didn't dare to look around, he knelt directly in the middle of the hall and saluted, "Slave see Zhen Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”
Su Jingxi picked up the cup on the desk, toggled it idly, and did not enter, "Get up." ”
The three cold words made the two eunuchs break out in a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to get up, and the eunuch in charge kowtowed, "The slave knows his mistake and doesn't control the palace people, so he begs the mother to punish him." ”
Su Jingxi sneered, "So you're pleading guilty."
"No slave, just a slave" The eunuch in charge was a little incoherent, and he didn't know how to explain it.
He was suddenly "invited" to the Guan Ju Palace today, he didn't come often on weekdays, and he was not very familiar with this lady, he had only heard of many of her deeds, and privately thought that he was not a simple person.
It is precisely because of this that he didn't dare to hold it up, let alone snub this lady, even if he didn't know what happened and what it had to do with him, but the intuition of many years in the palace made him learn to admit his mistakes first.
The other little eunuch was even more scared, he didn't know what was going on, he obeyed the orders to send things to the Guan Ju Palace on weekdays, and he came many times, and the reward was also rich each time, so he was happy to do this errand.
Cold sweat trickled, and he hung his head and was silent.
Su Jingxi made a look, and when she heard Yao, she took out the tray in the hand of the little palace maid behind her, and said, "This is the hundred incense sent by your palace province a few years ago, and it contains unclean things, what do you have to distinguish?"
When the two eunuchs heard the word "unclean", they were shocked, looked up at the tray in her hand, and didn't know how to say it.
Su Jingxi waved her hand, "Take it over and show them clearly, lest they deny it." ”
The eunuch in charge smiled bitterly in his heart, this lady decided that the problem appeared in the palace province, and did not dare to say anything, so she took it and carefully identified it, and after repeating, "Niangniang, this is indeed the spice saved in the palace." ”
Very good, there is no excuse, and it is obviously much more comfortable to admit it openly than to deny it or rack your brains to find excuses.
"But the servants don't know what is wrong with this spice, the spice is made by the people of the palace province themselves, and then distributed to the palaces and courtyards, and there are many people who pass by on the way, but they are all supervised, and if they are manipulated, it is not easy," the eunuch continued.
Su Jingxi snorted coldly, "So you are telling Bengong now, in fact, it's not your problem, but Bengong himself was careless and was manipulated."
"Niangniang forgive the sin, the slave doesn't mean this, beg Niangniang to know it," the two eunuchs were startled, and quickly kowtowed.
Su Jingxi eased her tone and said with a smile, "I don't know what my father-in-law calls how many years I've been in the palace."
The eunuch in charge couldn't figure out her thoughts, but he didn't dare not reply, so he could only say truthfully, "Back to Niangniang, the slave's surname is Zhong, and Niangniang can call the slave Xiao Zhongzi, and it has been seven years since he entered the palace." ”
"Seven years" Su Jingxi chuckled, "Since it's been seven years, you must also have a lot of connections, and there must be your followers in the palace."
"Niangniang"
Su Jingxi ignored his desire to speak and stopped, a eunuch like him can do the position of the head of the palace province, although he is not the leader, but he needs a lot of qualifications, whether he is smart and cunning is one thing, there must be someone behind him, otherwise how can he sit in this position safely.
"This palace doesn't know who made these hands and feet, only that this spice comes from your palace in the province, if the emperor asks, how will this palace answer, it's all in how Gonggong Zhong does it, you understand"
The eunuch in charge frowned, his mind turned, and he instantly understood what she meant, and kowtowed, "The slave understands, and asks the mother to give the slave two days, and the slave has decided to give the mother the truth." ”
"Well, go down, remember, it's only two days."
"Yes, the minions are retired."
Seeing their backs disappear, Dai Man said, "Niangniang believes them."
"Sort of, they have no reason to harm this palace, with his courage, they really want to harm, and they will not use such a means," Su Jingxi actually believed them in his heart, and from their actions after entering the Guan Ju Palace, it could be seen that Xiao Zhongzi was actually two points smart.
They are responsible for every example sent by the palace province, if they really want to use their hands and feet to deal with her, there is a better way, this way of being easily discovered by people and being framed is definitely not something that a smart person would do.
As for covering her ears and stealing the bell, if she did it deliberately, then Su Jingxi could only sigh, people are complex creatures, and it is difficult to guess in her mind, so she has no way.
However, this method is feasible outside the palace, and no one really wants to use it in the palace, because what the palace cares about is never the truth, as long as there is suspicion, it may be convicted, and if there is no suspicion, it may be framed, with such a stupid method, I am afraid that I really don't want to live.
"Is there anything else" Su Jingxi saw Yao come in and asked.
"There are a few medicinal herbs, which were sent from other palaces before, how do you plan to deal with them?"
Su Jingxi waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to submit it, and said directly, "Since it was sent from other palaces, if there is a problem, naturally they will all be sent back." ”
"Niangniang, will you offend other concubines like this" Ting Yao was a little worried, this move was inevitably a little too public, if it caused resentment, I am afraid it would not be appropriate.
"This palace just doesn't do it, won't it offend the left and right, and it's not so bad, this palace doesn't care, send it back, just say that this palace thanks them for their kindness, but this palace can't afford their hospitality, so it's better to keep it for yourself."
She is no longer the original Su Jingxi, now she has nothing to be afraid of, she has grace and heirs, she will accept and repay the kindness of others, but others give her a bad time, since they have a chance, why not take revenge and go back, although ten years have not arrived, but the gentleman will take revenge, which year, it will not be early.
